DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The present disclosure is directed to receiving public warning system (PWS) data. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may receive type 1 PWS data.
The type 1 PWS data may be processed by the UE and presented (e.g. displayed) as a human-readable alphanumeric alert message in a plain text format. In some cases, the PWS data may be delivered using a type 1 PWS data delivery mechanism. In a type 1 PWS data delivery mechanism, the PWS data is encapsulated in a PWS message. A
PWS message may be referred to as a PWS warning notification message, a PWS
warning message, or a warning message. A user equipment (UE) may monitor a known logical control channel on the radio interface and receives a PWS
message on the known logical control channel. The UE may extract the PWS data from the PWS message. The UE may display the extracted PWS data at the UE for the user to see. In some cases, the PWS data may be unencrypted.

message on the known logical control channel. The UE may extract the PWS data from the PWS message. The UE may display the extracted PWS data at the UE for the user to see. In some cases, the PWS data may be unencrypted.
[0014] In some cases, the type 1 PWS data delivery mechanism may not be used to transmit type 2 PWS data. The type 2 PWS data may include data content that includes richer features than the type 1 PWS data. Examples of type 2 PWS
data may include image data, video data, map data, audio data, and vehicle control data and other types of data. Due to inclusion of richer features or content the type 2 PWS data may have a larger data size than the type 1 PWS data. Because the payload size of the PWS message may be limited, the type 2 PWS data may be too big to fit in the PWS message. In addition, the control channel that carries the PWS message may not support high data rate, and therefore transmission of the type 2 PWS data in the PWS message may take too much time, use too much bandwidth of the control channel or otherwise be inefficient.

[0015] In some cases, the type 2 PWS data may be delivered to the UE
using a type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. In a type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism, the PWS data may be delivered outside of the PWS message. Examples of the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism includes transmitting the PWS data on a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) channel, transmitting the PWS
data using a unicast message, or transmitting the PWS data using a broadcast message that is different than the PWS message. The broadcast message may be transmitted using TV, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMaX), Wi-Fi, satellite, or other broadcast-type channels not typically employed for PWS.

The broadcast message may be transmitted using TV, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMaX), Wi-Fi, satellite, or other broadcast-type channels not typically employed for PWS.
[0016] In some cases, a different type of PWS message may be used for the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. For example, two types of PWS messages may be used. A type 1 PWS message may include the PWS message that is used in association with the type 1 PWS data delivery mechanism, while a type 2 PWS
message may be used in association with the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism.
In some cases, the type 2 PWS message may not carry PWS data, and therefore to may not be displayed to the user at the UE. Instead, the type 2 PWS message may carry control information for PWS services that may instruct or indicate to the UE
at least one of how and where to receive the PWS data. For example, the PWS
data may be transmitted using a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) channel, and the type 2 PWS message may be used to provide information related to the MBMS channel. In some cases, the type 1 and the type 2 PWS message may use the same message structure, and therefore the backward compatibility is maintained. FIG. 8 and associated descriptions provide additional details of PWS
data, PWS messages, and PWS data delivery mechanisms.

[0017] FIG. 1 is an example wireless communication system 100 that receives PWS data. In some cases, a UE may receive a PWS message. The UE may determine that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message. In some cases, the PWS
message may include a message identifier in a specific portion (e.g. the header) of the PWS message, and the message identifier indicates that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message. In some cases, the PWS message may include a payload identifier, and the payload identifier indicates that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS
message.
In some cases, in response to determining that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS
message, the UE may refrain from displaying information regarding or carried by the PWS message.

[0018] The type 2 PWS message may indicate that the PWS data is delivered using a type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. In some cases, the type 2 PWS
message may include configuration information of the transport channel that is used to deliver the PWS data. For example, the type 2 PWS message may include configuration information of the MBMS channel that is used to transmit the PWS
data. In some cases, the configuration information of the transport channel that is used to deliver the PWS data may be transmitted on a multicast control channel (MCCH), and the UE may monitor the MCCH to receive configuration information.

In some cases, the PWS data may include the type 2 PWS data.
[0019] In some cases, the PWS message may include information to facilitate decryption of the PWS data (e.g. a decryption key). For example, the UE

Delivering public warning system (PWS) data according to the methods and systems described herein may enable PWS data with rich content that may be delivered using a PWS delivery mechanism that supports higher data rate. In addition, using an MBMS or other broadcast/unicast channel to deliver the PWS
data may enable efficient use of existing PWS and MBMS systems. Furthermore, the type 2 PWS message may use the same message structure as the type 1 PWS message.
Therefore, the backward compatibility may be maintained and the impact to existing network and operations of legacy UE may be limited. Moreover, the PWS data may be transmitted using encryption algorithms that enhance the security of the system.

[0021] At a high level, the example wireless communication system 100 includes a wireless communication network 110, which includes a base station 106.
The example wireless communication system 100 also includes a UE 102. In operation, the UE 102 receives a PWS message 120 from the base station 106.
The UE 102 determines that the PWS message 120 is a type 2 PWS message rather than a legacy/convention type 1 PWS message carrying data that is to be processed and presented as human-readable text. The type 2 PWS message indicates that PWS
data 130 is delivered using a type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. As shown in FIG. 1, The PWS data 130 is transmitted outside of the PWS message 120 but may have been received in the PWS message 120 if that PWS message was a type 1 PWS message. The UE receives the PWS data 130 using the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. FIGS. 2-8 and associated descriptions provide additional details for these implementations.

In some cases, an Application Part may be defined for this interface to convey radio configuration data for the multi-cell transmission mode base stations. In some cases, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) may be used as a signaling transport over the M2 interface to provide Point-to-Point signaling
[0033] The example wireless communication system 200 also includes the UEs 202a, 202b and 202c. In some cases, the base station 206 transmits PWS
data to one or more of the UEs 202a-c over an MBMS channel 230. In some cases, the PWS data may be type 2 PWS data.
data to one or more of the UEs 202a-c over an MBMS channel 230. In some cases, the PWS data may be type 2 PWS data.
[0034] In some cases, the MBMS channel 230 may include an MCCH, a Multicast Traffic Channel (MTCH), or a combination thereof. In some cases, the UE
may receive configuration information of MBMS transmission within an MBSFN
area by monitoring MCCH. The MCCH is a point-to-multipoint downlink channel used for transmitting MBMS scheduling and control information from the network to the UE
for one or several MTCHs. In some cases, the MCCH includes the list of MBMS
service information available in the MBSFN. The MCCH may change periodically.
Each MCCH period may be referred to as an MCCH modification period. If there are changes in the MCCH in the next modification period, MCCH change notifications may be sent periodically in the current MCCH modification period.

Each MCCH period may be referred to as an MCCH modification period. If there are changes in the MCCH in the next modification period, MCCH change notifications may be sent periodically in the current MCCH modification period.
[0035] In some cases, a UE (e.g., one or more of the UEs 202a-c) may determine that a received PWS message is a type 2 PWS message. In response to the determining, the UE may monitor the MCCH to determine the MBMS configuration to information that is associated with the PWS data. In some cases, the base station 206 may transmit the MBMS configuration information associated with the PWS data in a predetermined time period after the transmission of the type 2 PWS message. In some cases, the predetermined time period may be the next n-th subframe, the next n-th slot, or the next n-th radio frame after the type 2 PWS message. The UE may receive an MBMS configuration message that includes the MBMS configuration information over the MCCH. In some cases, the MBMS configuration message may be an MB S FNAreaConfigurati on message. FIG 6 shows an example MBSFNAreaConfiguration message 600.
[0036] In some cases, the UE may receive MBMS configuration information in the type 2 PWS message. FIG 3 and associated descriptions provide additional details of these implementations.
[0037] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example method 300 for receiving PWS data. The method 300 may begin at block 302, a public warning system (PWS) message is received at a user equipment (UE). At block 304, the UE determines that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message. The type 2 PWS message indicates that type 2 PWS data is delivered using a type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. In some cases, the type 2 PWS data includes data that is different than alphanumeric data. For example, the type 2 PWS data may include image data, video data, map data, audio data, vehicle control data, or a combination thereof. Table 1 shows an example type 2 PWS message.

12-88 Content of Message (payload) Table 1 example type 2 PWS message.
[0038] In some cases, the type 2 PWS message uses the same message structure as the type 1 PWS message. For example, as shown in Table 1, the example type 2 PWS message may include a header and a payload. The header may include the 5 first 11 bytes of the message, and the payload may include the remaining bytes in the message.
[0039] In some cases, e.g., when the total payload associated with one alert exceeds the size of the payload in one PWS message, the total payload may be transmitted in multiple PWS messages that are associated with one another. In some cases, the type 2 PWS message may include a "PWS+ TAG" field in the header, the "PWS+ TAG" may include the serial number and the message identifier of a PWS
message that is associated with the PWS message. Therefore, the UE may combine the payloads of the associated PWS messages. In some cases, associated PWS
messages may be transmitted in sequence or out of sequence. In some cases, the type 2 PWS message may include a message parameter field in the header, The message parameter field may indicate the sequence of the payload in associated PWS
messages.
For example, if a combined payload is delivered in 3 associated PWS messages, the message parameter field of these three associated PWS messages may be set to "0010 0000," "0010 0001," and "0010 0002," respectively.
message that is associated with the PWS message. Therefore, the UE may combine the payloads of the associated PWS messages. In some cases, associated PWS
messages may be transmitted in sequence or out of sequence. In some cases, the type 2 PWS message may include a message parameter field in the header, The message parameter field may indicate the sequence of the payload in associated PWS
messages.
For example, if a combined payload is delivered in 3 associated PWS messages, the message parameter field of these three associated PWS messages may be set to "0010 0000," "0010 0001," and "0010 0002," respectively.
[0040] In some cases, the type 2 PWS message may include a message identifier field in the header. In some cases, the message identifier may indicate that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message. FIG. 7 shows an example specification 700 for a message identifier indicating that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS
message. For example, a predetermined value may be used to indicate that the PWS
message is a type 2 PWS message. If the UE determines that the message identifier field in the header of the received PWS message is set to the predetermined value, the UE may process the PWS message as a type 2 PWS message. If the UE determines that the message identifier field in the header of the received PWS message is not set to the predetermined value, the UE may process the PWS message as a type 1 PWS
message. In some cases, the predetermined value may be specified in a telecommunication standard. Alternatively or in combination, the predetermined value may be broadcasted to the UE.
message. For example, a predetermined value may be used to indicate that the PWS
message is a type 2 PWS message. If the UE determines that the message identifier field in the header of the received PWS message is set to the predetermined value, the UE may process the PWS message as a type 2 PWS message. If the UE determines that the message identifier field in the header of the received PWS message is not set to the predetermined value, the UE may process the PWS message as a type 1 PWS
message. In some cases, the predetermined value may be specified in a telecommunication standard. Alternatively or in combination, the predetermined value may be broadcasted to the UE.
[0041] In some cases, the type 2 PWS message may include a payload identifier in the payload field. In some cases, the payload identifier may indicate that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message. In some cases, the payload identifier may be the first byte in the payload field. Therefore, if the UE determines that the first byte in the payload field is the payload identifier, the UE may process the PWS
message as a type 2 PWS message. Table 2 shows an example payload identifier.

[0042] As shown in Table 2, the payload identifier may include an image description bit. The image description bit may indicate whether the PWS data includes image data. For example, if the image description bit is set to '1,' the PWS
data may include image data. In some cases, the image data may be included in the payload of the PWS message. If the image description bit is set to '0,' the PWS data may not include image data. The payload identifier may also include a text bit. If the text bit is set to '1,' the PWS data may include text data. In some cases, the text data may be included in the payload of the PWS message. If the text bit is set to '0,' the PWS data may not include text data. Although not shown in Table 2, in some cases, the payload identifier may include additional data type fields to indicate other types of PWS data, e.g., video data, map data, vehicle control data, audio data, etc.

Although not shown in Table 2, in some cases, the payload identifier may include additional data type fields to indicate other types of PWS data, e.g., video data, map data, vehicle control data, audio data, etc.
[0043] The payload identifier may include an MBMS identifier bit. As discussed previously, in some cases, the PWS data may be delivered using an MBMS
channel. In some cases, the MBMS identifier bit may be used to indicate whether MBMS configuration information associated with the MBMS channel is included in the PWS message. For example, if the MBMS identifier bit is set to '1,' then the UE
may determine that MBMS configuration information associated with the MBMS
channel is included in the PWS message. If the MBMS identifier bit is set to '0,' then the UE may determine that MBMS configuration information associated with the MBMS channel is not included in the PWS message.

may determine that MBMS configuration information associated with the MBMS
channel is included in the PWS message. If the MBMS identifier bit is set to '0,' then the UE may determine that MBMS configuration information associated with the MBMS channel is not included in the PWS message.
[0044] In some cases, if the MBMS identifier bit is set to 'I,' the UE
may further determine whether an MBMS descriptor follows the payload identifier.
Table 3 shows an example MBMS descriptor. However the descriptor configuration shown in Table 3 could be applied to other bit (e.g. text and image descriptor shown in Table to 2), whereby the tag identifies the type of data to follow, followed by length and then the data itself.

Table 4 a first example MBMS control information payload
[0047] As shown in Table 4, the MBMS control information payload field may include at least one of a Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI) or an Internet Protocol (IP) Multicast address. The TMGI or the IP multicast address may indicate the bearer service for the PWS data. The MBMS control information payload field may also include a flow identifier that indicates the location dependent subflow of the MBMS bearer service for the PWS data. In some cases, the MBMS control information payload field may include a network identifier e.g. public land mobile network (PLMN) information field. The PLMN information field may identify the to network e.g., PLMN, over which the MBMS channel for the PWS data is transmitted.
The MBMS control information payload field may also include a frequency identifier or a cell identifier. The frequency identifier or the cell identifier may indicate the frequency (or frequencies) or the cell (or cells) that the UE may monitor for additional MBMS information. In some cases, the MBMS control information payload field may

[0048] At block 306, the UE optionally determines a decryption key based on the information for the decryption key in the PWS message. In some cases, the PWS
data delivered using the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism may be encrypted.
In these or other cases, the MBMS control information payload field may include a decryption key field. In some cases, the decryption key field may include a decryption key. Alternatively or in combination, the decryption key field may include a decryption key indicator. The decryption key indicator may be a pointer, reference or to link to obtain the decryption key. For example, the decryption key may be an index for the decryption key in a key database stored in the Mobile equipment or application on the UICC e.g. USIM. An authorized UE may retrieve the decryption key using the key indicator from the key database. Transmitting decryption key indicator instead of the decryption key may provide additional security. For example, an authorized UE
that does not have access to the key database may not be able to determine the decryption key based on the key indicator.

[0049] In some cases, the MBMS control information payload field may include an MCCH information field. The MCCH information field may include an MBMS configuration message, e.g., the MBSFNAreaConfiguration message discussed previously, that includes the MBMS configuration information associated with the MBMS channel transmitting the PWS data. Table 5 shows a second example MBMS
control information payload that includes the MCCH information field.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 3, at block 308, in response to determining that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message, the UE may refrain from displaying information regarding or carried by the PWS message. In some cases, if the PWS
message is a type 2 PWS message, the PWS message does not include PWS data.
Therefore, the UE may not display the payload of the PWS message. In some cases, the type 2 PWS message may include PWS data. In these cases, in response to determining that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message, the UE may determine whether PWS data is included in the PWS message. The UE may determine whether PWS data is included in the PWS message based on the payload identifier discussed in Table 2. If the payload identifier indicates that the PWS message include text data, picture data, or other data, the UE may display the PWS message, e.g., on a screen of the UE. If the payload identifier does not indicate that the PWS message include PWS
data, the UE may refrain from displaying the PWS message. If the type 2 PWS
message contained Decryption key / Indicator and the UE does not support the Decryption key / Indicator then the UE may not perform block 312

[0051] At block 310, the UE uses information in the type 2 PWS message to receive the type 2 PWS data via the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. In some cases, the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism delivers the type 2 PWS data using an MBMS channel, and the UE receives the type 2 PWS data over the MBMS channel.
Following is an example procedure for the UE to receive the type 2 PWS data over the MBMS channel.

[0063] i) perform a detach procedure as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 [11]
and then perform PLMN selection limiting the PLMN search to the PLMNs in the "PLMN information" if received; or [0064] ii) otherwise the UE may perform cell reselection to that Frequency /
Cell.
[0065] The following is an example specification in TS 23.122 for PLMN
selection triggered by MBMS PWS communication:
If the MS supports type 2 PWS messaging and a) Receives an indication that MBMS is being used to provide PWS services; and b) needs to perform a PLMN selection for MBMS PWS communications as specified in UNKNOWN specification then the MS may proceed as follows:
i) the MS may store a duplicate value of the RPLMN and a duplicate of the PLMN
selection mode that were in use before PLMN selection due to MBMS PWS communications was initiated;
ii) the MS may enter into Automatic mode of PLMN selection as specified in subclause 4.4 taking into account the additional requirements in items iii) to x) below;
iii) If the "Frequency / Cell information" information element as specified in the UNKNOWN
specification is received by the UE, among the PLMNs advertised by the E-UTRA
cell operating in the radio resources received by the MS in the PWS enhanced message "Frequency / Cell information" information element as specified in the UNKNOWN specification, the MS may choose one PLMN which:
1) provides MBMS for PWS; and 2) is neither in the list of "forbidden PLMNs" nor in the list of "forbidden PLMNs for EPS
services" as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 123A1 and the PLMN is not in the list of "PLIVINs with E-UTRAN not allowed" as specified in subclause 3.1;
if conditions 1) through 2) above are met then the MS may attempt to register on that PLMN. If none of the PLMNs meet conditions 1) through 2) above, the MS may return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action;
iv) if the registration fails due to "PLMN not allowed" or "EPS services not allowed", then the MS
may update the appropriate list of forbidden PLMNs as specified in subclause 3.1, and may either:
A) if the PLMN provides MBMS services, perform MBMS listening on the selected PLMN in limited service state. In this case the MS may not search for available and allowable PLMNs during the duration of MBMS data acquisition;
B) return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action; or C) perform the action described in iii) again with the choice of PLMNs further excluding the PLMNs on which the MS has failed to register.
Whether the MS performs A), B) or C) above is left up to MS implementation.
v) if the registration fails due to causes other than "PLMN not allowed" or "EPS services not allowed", the MS may:
- if the handling of the failure requires updating a list of forbidden PLMNs, update the appropriate list (as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 [23A]); and - if the handling of the failure does not require updating a list of forbidden PLMNs (as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 123A1), remember the PLMN as a PLMN on which the MS has failed to register., NO __ lb 1: How long the MS
memorizes the PLMNs on which it has failed to register is implementation dependent.
And the MS may either:
1) Al) return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action;
2) B1) perform the action described in iii) again with the choice of PLMNs further excluding the PLMNs on which the MS has failed to register; or 3) Cl) If the "Frequency / Cell information" information element as specified in the UNKNOWN specification is received by the UE, aquire MBMS PWS data in limited service state on a PLMN advertised by the cell operating in the "Frequency / Cell information"
information element as specified in the UNKNOWN specification, if registration on this PLMN has previously failed due to "PLMN not allowed" or "EPS services not allowed" and if this PLMN provides MBMS PWS data. In this case the MS may not search for available and allowable PLMNs during the duration time of acquiring the MBMS PWS data:, Whether the MS performs Al). B1) or Cl) above is left up to MS implementation.
vi) if the MS is no longer in the coverage of the selected PLMN, then the MS
may return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action.
vii)if the MS is unable to find a suitable cell on the selected PLMN, then the MS mdqv either:
4) A3) if the PLMN provides MBMS PWS data, acquire MBMS PWS data on the selected PLMN in limited service state. In this case the MS may not search for available and allowable PLMNs during the duration of acquiring the MBMS PWS data; or 5) B3) return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action.
Whether the MS performs A3) or B3) above is left up to MS implementation.
viii) if the MS is switched off while on the selected PLMN and switched on again, the MS may use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN as RPLMN and behave as specified in subclause 4.4.3.1;
ix) if the user initiates a PLMN selection while on the selected cell, the MS
may delete the stored duplicate value of PLMN selection mode, use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN as RPLMN
and follow the procedures (as specified for switch-on or recovery from lack of coverage) in subclause 4.4.3.1. The MS may delete the stored duplicate value of RPLMN once the MS has successfully registered to the selected PLMN; and x) if the MS no longer needs MBMS PWS data, the MS may return to the stored duplicate PLMN
selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action.

[0063] i) perform a detach procedure as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 [11]
and then perform PLMN selection limiting the PLMN search to the PLMNs in the "PLMN information" if received; or [0064] ii) otherwise the UE may perform cell reselection to that Frequency /
Cell.
[0065] The following is an example specification in TS 23.122 for PLMN
selection triggered by MBMS PWS communication:
If the MS supports type 2 PWS messaging and a) Receives an indication that MBMS is being used to provide PWS services; and b) needs to perform a PLMN selection for MBMS PWS communications as specified in UNKNOWN specification then the MS may proceed as follows:
i) the MS may store a duplicate value of the RPLMN and a duplicate of the PLMN
selection mode that were in use before PLMN selection due to MBMS PWS communications was initiated;
ii) the MS may enter into Automatic mode of PLMN selection as specified in subclause 4.4 taking into account the additional requirements in items iii) to x) below;
iii) If the "Frequency / Cell information" information element as specified in the UNKNOWN
specification is received by the UE, among the PLMNs advertised by the E-UTRA
cell operating in the radio resources received by the MS in the PWS enhanced message "Frequency / Cell information" information element as specified in the UNKNOWN specification, the MS may choose one PLMN which:
1) provides MBMS for PWS; and 2) is neither in the list of "forbidden PLMNs" nor in the list of "forbidden PLMNs for EPS
services" as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 123A1 and the PLMN is not in the list of "PLIVINs with E-UTRAN not allowed" as specified in subclause 3.1;
if conditions 1) through 2) above are met then the MS may attempt to register on that PLMN. If none of the PLMNs meet conditions 1) through 2) above, the MS may return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action;
iv) if the registration fails due to "PLMN not allowed" or "EPS services not allowed", then the MS
may update the appropriate list of forbidden PLMNs as specified in subclause 3.1, and may either:
A) if the PLMN provides MBMS services, perform MBMS listening on the selected PLMN in limited service state. In this case the MS may not search for available and allowable PLMNs during the duration of MBMS data acquisition;
B) return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action; or C) perform the action described in iii) again with the choice of PLMNs further excluding the PLMNs on which the MS has failed to register.
Whether the MS performs A), B) or C) above is left up to MS implementation.
v) if the registration fails due to causes other than "PLMN not allowed" or "EPS services not allowed", the MS may:
- if the handling of the failure requires updating a list of forbidden PLMNs, update the appropriate list (as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 [23A]); and - if the handling of the failure does not require updating a list of forbidden PLMNs (as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 123A1), remember the PLMN as a PLMN on which the MS has failed to register., NO __ lb 1: How long the MS
memorizes the PLMNs on which it has failed to register is implementation dependent.
And the MS may either:
1) Al) return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action;
2) B1) perform the action described in iii) again with the choice of PLMNs further excluding the PLMNs on which the MS has failed to register; or 3) Cl) If the "Frequency / Cell information" information element as specified in the UNKNOWN specification is received by the UE, aquire MBMS PWS data in limited service state on a PLMN advertised by the cell operating in the "Frequency / Cell information"
information element as specified in the UNKNOWN specification, if registration on this PLMN has previously failed due to "PLMN not allowed" or "EPS services not allowed" and if this PLMN provides MBMS PWS data. In this case the MS may not search for available and allowable PLMNs during the duration time of acquiring the MBMS PWS data:, Whether the MS performs Al). B1) or Cl) above is left up to MS implementation.
vi) if the MS is no longer in the coverage of the selected PLMN, then the MS
may return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action.
vii)if the MS is unable to find a suitable cell on the selected PLMN, then the MS mdqv either:
4) A3) if the PLMN provides MBMS PWS data, acquire MBMS PWS data on the selected PLMN in limited service state. In this case the MS may not search for available and allowable PLMNs during the duration of acquiring the MBMS PWS data; or 5) B3) return to the stored duplicate PLMN selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action.
Whether the MS performs A3) or B3) above is left up to MS implementation.
viii) if the MS is switched off while on the selected PLMN and switched on again, the MS may use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN as RPLMN and behave as specified in subclause 4.4.3.1;
ix) if the user initiates a PLMN selection while on the selected cell, the MS
may delete the stored duplicate value of PLMN selection mode, use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN as RPLMN
and follow the procedures (as specified for switch-on or recovery from lack of coverage) in subclause 4.4.3.1. The MS may delete the stored duplicate value of RPLMN once the MS has successfully registered to the selected PLMN; and x) if the MS no longer needs MBMS PWS data, the MS may return to the stored duplicate PLMN
selection mode and use the stored duplicate value of RPLMN for further action.
NO lb 2: If the MS returns to the RPLMN due to a failure to register in the selected PLMN, the upper layers of the MS can trigger PLMN selection again to initiate MBMS PWS
communications.
If the PLMN selected for MBMS PWS communications is a VPLMN, the MS may not periodically scan for higher priority PLMNs during the duration of &miring MBMS PWS data.
